Chapter 437: Chapter 226: Pseudo-Core Pursuit, The True Five Yin Ghosts

The escape technique is even faster than Blood Corpse Escape by several degrees.

"Who dares harm people outside Ten Thousand Beasts City, truly seeking death!" The Fake Pill Zhenren yelled angrily, his voice echoing for miles, chasing after the East Spring Undying Bone. His speed increased, becoming two to three times faster than Lou Lie.

The distance of a hundred miles was covered in an instant.

Almost catching up to the East Spring Undying Bone.

At this moment, Wen Jiu fully understood that upon reaching the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment Perfection and the Fake Pill level, the Blood Corpse Escape now held no advantage, with its only advantage being the Undying Bone Body.

The Undying Bone Body can endure the Blood Corpse Escape over a hundred times without being affected, something even a Fake Pill Cultivator cannot achieve.

Fifty consecutive Blood Corpse Escapes later, after leaving Ten Thousand Beasts City and covering more than a thousand miles, the East Spring Undying Bone successfully shook off its pursuer. But, to be safe, Wen Jiu once again performed fifty Blood Corpse Escapes and went three thousand miles away from the city, with seven to eight tenths of the expended corpse energy instantly replenished with the help of the two corpses and five ghosts.

Under the observation of the Corpse Qi Mark, the Fake Pill Zhenren pursued for seven to eight hundred miles before stopping.

Evidently.

He could not withstand multiple uses of the escape technique.

"Such a mere Ghost Cultivator, having such a strong Ghost Body, being able to perform the escape technique more times than even I, a Fake Pill Cultivator." At this moment, this Fake Pill Zhenren from Ten Thousand Beasts City developed a strong interest in the East Spring Undying Bone.

After returning to the city, he sought out Lou Lie immediately, and the panicked Lou Lie, who fled back to the city, was horrified to see the Fake Pill Zhenren return empty-handed. He quickly narrated everything that transpired, including the Acquired Divine Techniques.

"Interesting."

"Don’t let me encounter you again!"

The Fake Pill Zhenren left a remark and vanished from sight.

Leaving Lou Lie with lingering fear, he stood up slowly, hurriedly heading to his cave abode, deciding not to leave the city for three years.

Because he feared that the Ghost Cultivator was lurking outside.

Even the Fake Pill Zhenren couldn’t manage.

If he encountered them again.

He might be dead for sure.

Meanwhile, the Moon Princess from the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, Donghua River from the East Splendor Treasure Tower, and the female steward from the Illusory Sound Treasure Tower all hurried over.

Upon hearing this from Lou Lie, they were terrified, especially learning about the demise of three Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators made them panic even further. Even the Moon Princess at Late Stage Foundation Establishment wasn’t exempt.

From that point onward, the three Treasure Towers dared not commit murder and robbery for several years, fearing another encounter with someone pretending to be weaker than they are, and were noticeably more respectful towards Ghost Cultivators and Corpse Cultivators compared to ordinary cultivators.

But that’s a tale for later.

...

After leaving Ten Thousand Beasts City, Wen Jiu directed the East Spring Undying Bone to immediately turn back, and successfully refined thirty Blood Corpse Mushrooms on the way to return to the Little Demon Realm, gaining 7,500 points of experience, making another significant step towards the Tier Two Peak.

[East Spring Undying Bone (Tier Two (Upper Realm 43680/60000)]

As for the storage bags of Donghua Li and his companions, the gains weren’t very high, but altogether they were valued at thirty to five million Low-Grade Spirit Stones. However, the high-value items, like magical artifacts, were too identifiable.

But they could be fenced in Wind and Cloud Immortal City since people there wouldn’t recognize Donghua Li’s magical artifacts.

Ten days later.

The East Spring Undying Bone successfully returned to the Little Demon Realm, to the Enchanting Forest, where with the aid of the East Spring Undying Bone, the Ghost-faced Butcher successfully reached Tier Two Top Grade after refining six hundred Tier Two Lower Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicines.

After reaching Top Grade.

The effect of Tier Two Lower Grade on improvement reduced significantly.

Previously, when upgrading from Tier Two Middle Grade to Tier Two Top Grade, each Tier Two Lower Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicine could still provide fifty points of experience.

But now only ten points.

However, in cultivating the Five Ghosts, the effect surged again, and the ghost qi produced by the Ghost-faced Butcher at Tier Two Top Grade increased five to six times. Even though it’s only enough to nurture the Five Ghosts for half a day, the daily ghost cultivation experience greatly increased.

Initially, it was one hundred twenty points per day, now it tripled, making it possible for the Five Ghosts to enter Tier Two Middle Realm in just over eighty days.

Once the Five Ghosts reach Tier Two Middle Grade, and rebuff cultivation to perfect the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, he can step into the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Once reaching the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, even without the improvement from the lower scroll of the Yinzhou Heterodox Record, he can concentrate on corpse nurturing and prepare for the Heterodox Golden Core.

"The Heterodox Golden Core is getting closer to me." Wen Jiu couldn’t help but feel excited, his spirits lifted as he walked out of his cave abode to guide Wen Ya and Mu Chang’an in their cultivation. What Wen Jiu didn’t expect was that Mu Chang’an had already stepped into Qi Cultivation Second Layer.

This cultivation level in the Little Demon Realm is considered very humble, but Mu Chang’an progressing from Qi Cultivation First Layer to Qi Cultivation Second Layer within a few months is rather impressive for heterodox genius.

"If you have any questions, you can directly ask him." Wen Jiu took out the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute and placed it outside the cave abode.

Originally, Wen Jiu thought to send Mu Chang’an to Wind and Cloud Immortal City once he reached the late stage of Qi Cultivation, but at his current cultivation pace, that day might not come. Therefore, while in the Little Demon Realm, Wen Jiu wanted to help this kid as much as possible.

As for his sister Wen Ya, she obviously went on a pill-consuming spree. Because Wen Ya’s cultivation talent was quite ordinary, being able to reach Foundation Establishment is already a miracle, so there’s no concern whether consuming too many pills might affect potential.

Being able to reach Foundation Establishment.

To live for about two hundred years.

That’s enough!

...

In the next month or two, the battle in the Far West remained stalemated, and the Deadman Peak had completely fallen. Mu Canglong, Spirit Suppression Peak Elder Xiang Wenlong, and Xun Jiangxing were all unfortunately killed.

However, their descendants survived and were rather cared for in the Fang Family Trading House due to them.

Their future achievements will undoubtedly be greater than those two.

As for Master Ye Chen, he had successfully entered Qi Cultivation Perfection and, due to the war, received help from Li Yan, successfully reaching Foundation Establishment. As for Eastern Celestial City, it vanished completely after a great battle, and the Sound Transmission Talisman could no longer send messages. However, before its disappearance, its Life Soul Lamp did not extinguish, indicating they were still alive.

Wen Jiu performed calculations using Corpse Fate Technique, discovering that Eastern Celestial City was in the Central Shen Yun Mountain Range, and not alone.

There was another soul beside them.

It was the soul of Celestial Official Bai.

"I didn’t expect Celestial Official Bai to survive." Wen Jiu recalled that Feng Jue had given Celestial Official Bai a Tier Two Lower-Grade Spirit Guard Pill at that time, which protected the soul from leaving the body and resisted the Soul-Searching Technique of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But as Wen Jiu progressed, he found that the so-called Spirit-Protecting Pill could basically only defend against simple Soul-Searching Techniques.

The Soul Capturing Technique, it simply cannot guard against, its greatest role being in allowing the soul to safely depart from the body.

Wen Jiu withdrew his consciousness from the Dark Realm, no longer paying attention to Eastern Celestial City, "Thus it is good, at least they can live."

As for Master Ye Chen, with Li Yan’s backing, they probably won’t be used as cannon fodder, pushed to the front lines.

The chances of survival significantly increased.

Regarding the situation in Little Demon Realm and Wind and Cloud Immortal City, over the past two months, there remained no clues about the Ghost Cultivator, and Daoist Wei continued to rage helplessly, while conflicts with Vice City Lord Lin quietly intensified.

But Master Pei seemed to care little, focusing entirely on breaking through to the Middle Stage of the Golden Core.

When will it be accomplished?

Not easy to say.

But Wen Jiu feels if it delays longer, the people from Three Life Gates and Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks will eventually react.

Once people from the two forces react, they will surely go to great lengths to stop the advancement to the Middle Stage of the Golden Core.

After all, once reaching the Middle Stage of the Golden Core.

The balance of Celestial Demon Sea and the Divine Fall Mountain Range would be completely broken.

After their constant bickering, in the end, the neutral force becomes the strongest, able to crush them with a single step.

How ridiculous?

And Feng Jue, since knowing that Wen Jiu’s zombies can disguise as Ghost Cultivators, has been frequenting the Enchanting Forest, each time bringing some items. Despite not being Blood Corpse Mushrooms, they are rare treasures.

Mu Chang’an and Wen Ya have benefited from this too, with their cultivation rapidly advancing.

On this day as well.

The Five Ghosts finally all reached Tier Two Middle Realm, and upon reaching Tier Two Middle Realm, they once again awakened a method.

Yin Five Elements Ghost Qi.

This ghost technique indeed harnesses ghost qi directly, and when Wen Jiu examined their information closely, he was quite pleased.

"From today onwards, the Five Yin Ghosts truly become the Five Yin Ghosts." Wen Jiu sighed appreciatively, controlling the East Spring Undying Bone, taking the Five Ghosts out of the Little Demon Realm, heading toward the Wilderness.

[Two updates were provided for 520.

Haha.

Very fierce?
